We've got a 99 vert and have really liked the car. Got 130,000 on it and it still runs strong. Don't tell anyone as they might start to think domestic cars are pretty good. (kidding). We have been pleased with it and it is hard to get rid of. It still runs good, gets 27mpg, and is paid for. I won't sell it and it keeps me from buying something new. But if it ever blew up on me, I guess I could then go get something new. Plus, gez they are like $2500 on Ebay all day long. I just find it surprising more people aren't buying them. They are well made cars. Jack up the car on one side toward the rear and three wheel raise off the ground. Now that's a stiff car. It was purpose built as a convertible.
